Brewers ink OF Patterson to minors deal
Corey Patterson - OF - Milwaukee Brewers
Jan. 30, 2012 - 6:25 PM ET
Brewers signed OF Corey Patterson to a minor league contract.
The deal does not include an invite to big-league camp, though that could change. Patterson, 32, batted .239/.273/.359 with six home runs, 36 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .632 OPS over 396 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Cardinals last season. He's expected to open the season at Triple-A Nashville, but provides some depth if Ryan Braun's 50-game suspension sticks.
